The ADRENALINE testbed: An SDN/NFV packet/optical transport network and edge/core cloud platform for end-to-end 5G and IoT services

摘要

The fifth generation of mobile networks (5G) and the internet of Things (IoT) impose very stringent requirements to the optical transport networks. On the one hand, high flexibility, ultra-low latency and high capacity, in order to support the forecasted 1000x growth in mobile data traffic with latencies below millisecond. On the other hand, massive edge and core cloud infrastructure integrated with the transport network to dynamically deploy NFV, MEC, and IoT analytics. This paper presents ADRENALINTE testbed, an SDN/NFV packet/optical transport network and edge/core cloud platform for end-to-end 5G and IoT services.
